Double-Click Row to Open File or Folder
« on: February 03, 2014, 23:06:44 »
Wow!  MultiCommander has an impressive feature list with a huge number of customizations.  I am looking for the option to let me double click on a row to open a file or folder.  I'm sure it's an option, but I just can't find it.

Thanks for the suggestion Jungle.

The option "Go to parent folder if click was on empty area (whitespace)" is interfering with the selection.

How can I double-click on a row containing a file to open it, but double-click on the blank area below all files to go up a directory?

Ah, I see that empty area (whitespace) is a space with no symbols even if it is a item row. And selection doesn't matter.
But I don't know whether it is a bug or by design.

It is by design..  whitespace is the area that does not contain any text or icon.. (aka. the background )

Oh OK.  Please consider making the top section containing files not empty so we can double-click a row to open files.  And only consider the truly blank section below as the empty area.  Of course this is only an option so users who prefer the current behavior aren't impacted.  This is a very low priority request as I can use the backspace key in the meantime.  Thanks for your time.
